I might become a Tablet PC evangelist again…

December 1, 2007 By

On Thursday night I was at HP seeing its top-secret stuff that it will bring out at CES.

Tonight I see this killer video of a Crayon Physics game. It’s not the only cool thing I have put on my link blog tonight.

Both things make me think I might get a Tablet PC again soon and become a Tablet PC fan again. It’s been a while.

    The TC1100′s were a wonder and a joy, figures that HP killed them, unmerciful at that, but convertibles held the greater demand, so economically you can’t really blame HP, even though you can mean-face sneer in their general direction. Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition (gawd, always a garbled mouthful) wasn’t exactly mature in the TC1100 era, and the TC only hooked consumers and educators, Motion getting Health Care. HP went corporate, and that was that, TC was dead.

    What rock have you been living under?

    His RSS feeds, Facebook, iPhone, Mac Book Pro (when it works), and Kindle rocks. ;)

    But as a final zap, why is everything in the Tablet space, always warmed-over apps, and hacked-up ink-things left out of Office/Vista/PDF, or eternal never-making-to-market “research prototypes?” ISVs sure never found much bite in things Tablets.

    I wonder if Rob Lowe still uses his Tablet…

    >What rock have I been living under?

    Sorry if I ignored the Tablet PC market there for a while.

    I read more than 5,000 blogs every evening (on 730+ RSS feeds) and have at least one industry conversation every day (videos at scobleshow.com) and Tablet PC just rarely comes up.

    But I still follow a few blogs and when something interesting gets posted I repost it.

    I found a great use for the Tablet PC, they make great displays for video camera teleprompters.

    ah

    Robert, unsolicited recommendation, ArtRage – it is great. It surpasses Corel (and all Photoshop clone interfaces) by a big margin. This mean it is a usable tool on a tablet, changes the platform, not just for art but education. There are innovations in the latest versions (check the ruler + stencils) that will become the norm, is there anything like it? AndyRage is that your work? Fantastic.

    I have recently done a 1000 sketches project & used every tool, ArtRage impresses.
